Good-bye grebe

Good-bye grebe (Podilymbus podiceps)

I was going to call this image "wetback", but decided against. The word is also a racist name for undocumented immigrants bravely attempting to enter the US by swimming across the Rio Grande. But in this case it was to be just a declaration of the obvious in a grebe just up from a dive ... and turning its back on me as it swims away.
